i3: add configuration file for i3

Since WMII is deprecated, we finally follow the advise of switching to
i3 window manager.

Some configuration has been added so that it behaves like WMII as much
as possible. Here is a list of some features that have been configured:

* default keys to move / resize / focus windows
* handling of control volume keys
* names of the tags
* default layout for new containers (stacked instead of split)
* ...

+# The font above is very space-efficient, that is, it looks good, sharp and
